samba - Aug 2007 - Problem with netlogon\logon.bat not mapping all drives

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I have searched for some reason but
cannot find any.

 

After migrating from a previous samba-3.0.10 (I think) PDC server to a newer
samba-3.0.23c server on Centos5, I have the strange problem that my XP
clients no longer map all the drives listed in the logon.bat during logon,
however if I run logon.bat manually after I'm logged in, all drives are
mapped fine.

 

My logon.bat file:

 

@echo off

NET TIME %LOGONSERVER% /SET /YES

NET USE * /DEL /YES

NET USE H: %LOGONSERVER%\%USERNAME%

NET USE I: %LOGONSERVER%\drivers

NET USE P: %LOGONSERVER%\public

NET USE S: %LOGONSERVER%\software

 

The only drive that sometimes gets mapped at login is S: the last one in the
list.

My suspicion is that samba is not responding with the shares fast enough.
However adding a 15 second delay to the top of logon.bat does not seem to do
the trick.

 

Regards,

Jai

What changes if you don't delete existent shares?
Perhaps you should add "/persistent:no" after mounting the shares -
it's
not the problem you described.

Viele Gruesse!

I have seen this with a similar script. What I have seen is that the

NET USE * /DEL /YES

finishes but does not always fully execute for all drives but is
waiting and running in the background. Then the drive mapping actually
succeeds and sometime after that (even a minute or  two later) the
delete actually happens. If you can I think it is best to avoid the
delete.

Does it give any error messages when the logon script is executed?

You can add a PAUSE command at the end and open the window on the
Windows machine to check.

Or he writes

        start /w NET USE * /DEL /YES
        rem waits until succeeded

Maybe that cures a similar problem in some of my scripts.

Thank You. I will check into that as my users are not very happy the 1
out of 100 times this fails...

John

Unfortunately no more drives magically appear after 2 - 3 minutes. The only
drives that get mapped sometimes (1 out of the three) stays the only drive
mapped.

Also the script seems to complete its course in a reasonable time. However
see my previous post with script output, there seems to be some problems.
